Abstract

Este documento describe el estado y la evolución de la cartera de los hospitales públicos en Colombia y cómo se relaciona con algunos indicadores de la calidad en la prestación del servicio de salud a nivel regional. El análisis de la cartera de los hospitales públicos se basa en los datos del Sistema de Información Hospitalaria (SIHO), que agrupa la información reportada al Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social. Se cuenta con información para 931 hospitales. El 85% de los hospitales son de nivel I porque ofrecen servicios de complejidad baja; el 12% son de nivel II con servicios de complejidad intermedia, mientras que el 3% de los hospitales son de nivel III que brindan servicios de complejidad alta. Además, de acuerdo con información de la Encuesta Nacional de Calidad de Vida, el Registro Especial de Prestadores de Servicios de Salud, y el Registro Único Nacional del Talento Humano en Salud (ReTHUS), se presentan las diferencias regionales en algunos indicadores de infraestructura hospitalaria y calidad de los servicios de salud. Se encuentra que algunos departamentos de la Costa Caribe (como Cesar, Sucre y Atlántico) tienen la mayor disponibilidad de camas mientras que Bogotá, Valle y Antioquia la mayor disponibilidad de recurso humano. Los departamentos de las regiones Orinoquía, Pacífica y Amazonía están rezagadas en ambos factores. Finalmente, se explora la relación entre la cartera y algunos indicadores de calidad. **** ABSTRAC: This document describes the state and evolution of the public hospital portfolio in Colombia and how it relates to some quality indicators in the provision of health services at the regional level. The analysis of the public hospital portfolio is based on data from the Hospital Information System (SIHO, in Spanish), which contains the information reported to the Ministry of Health and Social Protection. We have data for 931 hospitals. 85% of hospitals are level I because they offer low complexity services; 12% are level II and offer services of intermediate complexity, while 3% are level III and offer high complexity services. In addition, according with data from the National Quality of Life Survey, the Special Registry of Health Service Providers, and the Single National Registry of Human Talent in Health (ReTHUS, in Spanish), this paper presents regional differences in some hospital infrastructure indicators, as well as in indicators of the quality of health services. We find that some departments of the Caribbean Coast (such as Cesar, Sucre and Atlántico) have the higher availability of hospital beds while Bogotá, Valle and Antioquia have the greatest availability of human resources. The departments of the Orinoquia, Pacifica and Amazon regions are lagging in both factors. Finally, the relationship between the public hospitals portfolio and some quality indicators is explored.
